TIFU by tucking my head into the railing

I am a college student living in Korea. (Sorry if my English is awkward)

I have some tests next week, so I stayed at school for a long time studying in the library. So I was very very tired, and honestly, I think I was kinda out of my mind.

I was walking down the hall to get home, and the view outside the window was so beautiful. The sun was setting. But I couldn't fully see the view because of the iron railing on the window.

I looked around and there was no one there, so I tuck my head into the railing and enjoyed the sunset for a moment. (Now that I think about it, I just had to come outdoor and see it...) It was the perfect gap to put my head in.

After a while, I was satisfied and wanted to go home. But my head didn't come out. It was easy when I came in, but not when I left. I struggled.

I was in panic. Should I call 119(In the States, it's 911)? How do I explain it when I call them? "Help me, my head stuck in the railing"? They're going to come here with loud with sirens... Then the balloon will go up... Everytime(Social media used by Korean university students.) must be full of mockery about me...

Then, unfortunately, someone walked from over there. He was my senior in same major, not very close to me... I thought to myself, I looked like a cow in a farm eating past the fence.

He asked me what I was doing there. I smiled awkwardly and said I was watching the view. He asked me if I was okay. I was embarassed, so I just said that I was going to watch a little more and then leave. He left, tilting his head.

I just had to ask him for help, because even after that, I couldn't pull my head out while a few more people passed by. And after struggling for a long time, I found the perfect angle and pulled my head out. Then I came back home as fast I could.

I hope you guys don't put your head in the railing, especially in public.

TL;DR: I tucked my head into the window railing to see the outside view. But I couldn't pull my head out easily, and some people, including my senior, saw the scene.

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...
